The exhibition that this catalogue accompanies,
Interlud[io]e, comes at a crucial time in our province’s history.
Low birth rates in Newfoundland and Labrador conspire with
the fastest aging population in the country and the out-migra-tion
of young people forced to leave the island to find work, to
create challenging fiscal, environmental, and social questions.
Questions that do not have easy answers.
An interlude—in Spanish interludio—makes space for a break,
a brief respite before resuming. In the exhibition documented
in these pages the Visual Arts graduating class of the Grenfell
School of Fine Arts is asking for, at times even insisting upon,
a pause to consider possibilities. They are urging viewers to
consider latent potentials for change and shifting perceptions
of self, both individually and in relation to histories, larger
systems, and current challenging realities.
As Director of the Grenfell Art Gallery, curating the Grenfell
School of Fine Arts graduating class exhibition presents a
unique opportunity in our annual schedule. Artists are seers,
they anticipate the concerns and forces that shape our world,
their creativity serves as the seeds for innovation. The oppor-tunity
to engage directly with students who are graduating and
cultivate an understanding of their varied ambitions, concerns,
and ideas, always offers insights into the future. Both the
future of art and the future of our province feel brighter for the
experience.
First and foremost, I would like express my sincere thanks to
the artists, Marshal Borland, Emily Clark, Charlotte May Hob-den,
Bailey MacPhee, Donald Tyler Moss, Drew Pardy, Matthew
Parsons, Kathryn Emma Shave, Kelsey Street, and Faune Ybarra
for their outstanding work. Sincere thanks are extended to the
catalogue and exhibition designer Faune Ybarra, who received
design support from our Lead Gallery Assistant Emily Clark.
In closing, on behalf of the Grenfell Art Gallery, I would like to
thank and recognize the School of Fine Arts, Grenfell Campus,
and Memorial University for their support of the Grenfell Art
Gallery and all of our exhibitions and programs.

When Grenfell was established in 1975, Memorial University made
the visionary decision to locate Fine Arts programing on the West
Coast. This reflected not only the incredible, breathtaking, beauty
of the region, but also its already strong reputation as a centre for
creative work.
It is my pleasure to extend congratulations to Grenfell’s
outstanding Visual Arts students. The sampling of work in this
beautiful catalogue captures just a small portion of the incredible
breadth of talent that, each year, typifies this Fine Arts degree
program. The past year has been an exceptional one for Visual Arts
at Grenfell Campus. Students have presented their work not only
locally, but in curated shows across Canada. We are hosting more
events than ever at our Gallery and, as such, drawing record num-bers
of people from the broader community to Campus. We are on
the cusp of opening a student-run art gallery in downtown Corner
Brook. The coming year will see Grenfell Campus welcome its first
cohort into the new Masters of Fine Arts, a group that will include
students from across Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and
even internationally.
In its still brief existence, Fine Arts has become a signature domain
at Grenfell, producing graduates with national and international
reputations. The work in this catalogue, and in so many other
venues, speaks to the incredibly bright future of Visual Arts, and its
continuing, central role, to Grenfell’s growing excellence as a
University Campus.
Congratulations to all involved. Grenfell is extremely proud of its
Visual Arts students.

Congratulations on this, your graduating exhibition. The graduating
exhibition is, without doubt, one of the most important events of
the year, celebrating as it does your achievements and
accomplishments over your four year journey.
Interlud[io]e is a vibrant, dynamic, and diverse exhibition that we
are all proud of. This catalog is a physical manifestation of all that,
and I hope you carry it with you and that it serves to remind you
of your time and place here, as its permanent place here serves to
remind us of you. I hope that your time with us has been rewarding,
the challenges worthwhile and that the inspiration and energy you
have found here helps propel you towards your next milestone, and
whatever waits for you down the road. I wish you all the very best in
that, and that you keep in touch to let us know how it’s all going.

While tumultuous times, both globally, and to a much lesser degree
in the program, can lead to chaos and upheaval –these are often the
times when artists rise to their metre and their creativity becomes a
beacon. You may not know it, but on average nearly two thirds of the
entering class each year notes they were told not to go into
Visual Arts –and yet they persevered against the mythos of the
“starving artist” that stymies and dogs the realities of our
profession.
As the program Chair I am now the last faculty member of the
original cadre who started the first degree program offered at
Grenfell so that, like these students, I bridge those foundations and
these new beginnings. Through-out those 30 years there have been
remarkable and on-going successes: students working as architects,
being nominated for major national and international awards, art
educators, graphic and industrial designers, art
therapists –others creating major animation companies, Rhodes
scholars, curators in New York. We have had a remarkable number
of our students going on to graduate school, punching well above our
weight in acceptances.
These successes are a tribute both to that earlier generation of
faculty who designed this school and program and that new
generation of faculty who have updated it for the coming issues that
face a new generation of creative researchers. Key, and foremost,
has been the drive, passion and artistic integrity –the intellectual
rigour and gumption of the graduating artists that stand as a hall-mark
of the role creativity, and a belief in vision, plays for our
society.
